Sweet and Crunchy Caramel Corn

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Karo syrup
  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn about 15 cups popped

Instructions

  • Pop your popcorn and place into large greased pan (or 2 9x13 cake pans if you don't have a huge roaster pan)
  • In a large saucepan, heat brown sugar, butter, and Karo syrup.  Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla. The caramel will get "fizzy" looking. Don't worry, that's what you want.
  • Pour the caramel evenly over the popcorn (if using 2 pans, divide between the two pans)
  • Toss to coat.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
  • While baking, stir the caramel very 5 minutes to ensure it does not burn. You know it's done when the popcorn looks "dry" When you pull it out of the oven, sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt.
  • Turn out of the pan and break apart.  Allow to cool and enjoy!
